Great question and thank you for watching! I personally use it for the sump pump in our basement, charging my laptop and tool batteries, to power a strong Motion sensor light and as an emergency backup power bank. You would have to look at the specs on the unit you want to run and see how much power it uses. If the air conditioner was under 3,000Watts and didn’t draw more then 350Amps this system would run it fine. You can figure out how long it would run by the wattage and how many watt hours of power your battery bank has. Mine has 400Amp hours of power which converts to about 4,800 watt hours. Let me know if you have any more questions!!
It’s recommended incase one of the panels gets damaged and shorts out it could send a surge down the wires. The fuses are to protect the wires from burning up.
@@Earthmadegardenit is necessary to have some layer of protection between any electrical power systems unless it is a 1.5 volt system that's powering a toy. I did some grid scale high voltage pv installation and every string has a fuse. I set up my own off grid system and I have protection between the panels and the charge controller.
I apologize, I don't understand what's going on here. But the set-up looks clean. Could be good if you brief the total set-up production before showing us the cabling.
Thank you sir! I actually did a few other videos explaining this system in more detail, check out my solar playlist! In the installation video I explain what the system is for. It’s basically an off grid battery backup system mainly for our sump pump to run even if we loose power, but also to save a bit on our electric bill by charging my laptop and battery packs for my tools. I also have a powerful led motion sensor light that lights up most of our basement running on this system. Thank you for taking a look!
Yea! It would for sure power an RV, the 3000w inverter makes it capable to handle most appliances in a house. when it comes to powering larger appliances that require a 240v outlet like a dryer or large power tools you would need a 24 or 48v system. Thank you for taking a look!!
KEEP UP WITH THE GREAT WORK AS WE PREPPERS GROW WISE WITH DIY SOLAR INSTALLATION . MAY THE SOLAR BE WITH YOU . 🤗
Thank you!! Always learning!
You could use sandbags on the rack base in a pinch. Nice attention to detail, cheers!
Good idea!
May I ask what would you use this power system on? Can this used on air conditioner?

@@Earthmadegarden thanks for the detailed answers. Look forward to your new RUclips videos
@@kohkae1177 Anytime! Uploading one now lol!!
Also, check out my giveaway announcement video!
Thanks again!
Good system!
Thank you very much I appreciate that!
Why do you have a fuse between the panels and the mppt?
It’s recommended incase one of the panels gets damaged and shorts out it could send a surge down the wires. The fuses are to protect the wires from burning up.
Thank you for asking and I appreciate you taking a look!
@@Earthmadegarden It's doing no harm, but not needed. An array cannot suddenly send masses of power down the the wires, unlike a battery.

@@kurtlee6608 yea I’m working for a solar installation company for the past 4mo and we have dc breakers and rapid shutdown modules for the solar.
Nice

I’m also looking into Tying it to the grid so I can put the excess power back into the grid and save on our electric that way also.
What all could you power with this? What about an RV? Ya think?

Hello , can i connect 3 batteries in parallel 600a 12v for off grid system 12v
Are they all the same type batteries and same age?
@@Earthmadegarden its the same type but two are new and the frist i bought it 3 months ago
@@hemobasha3957 that should be fine just check the voltages and make sure they are all within like .3V before connecting the new batteries
@@hemobasha3957 also note that if the old battery was damaged in anyway it will bring down the other 2 to that voltage/capacity
@@Earthmadegarden thank you for your advice
Don't think of it as oversized. Think of it as room to expand.
Definitely!
